Yes, it would be funny if it wasn't tragic: the exact scenario they wanted to prevent materialized but from the one angle where they weren't covered. I predict this is the last time that a non-profit is put in charge of a for profit that has investors. That mistake is not going to be made again. And it also shows how risky it is to put together new governance structures even if they seem to be a good idea at the time. Because the fig leaf suddenly turned into a hammer the size of which would be hard to replicate in a normal governance setting. Unparalleled destruction with zero regards for the consequences.
Purely hypothetical but this presents a tiny angle which Adam could come out of this as a reasonable person... if all of this was basically him saying "I have to go. You have to go. We are both compromised and our positions are now against the charter" then maybe Sam was fighting against that because of the team he built and loves leading. This is one reason I would accept Adam's role if it is just him hanging on to make sure Sam is out before leaving himself.
